A new three-parameter cumulative distribution function defined on $(\alpha,\infty)$, for some $\alpha\geq0$, with asymmetric probability density function and showing exponential decays at its both tails, is introduced. The new distribution is near to familiar distributions like the gamma and log-normal distributions, but this new one shows own elements and thus does not generalize neither of these distributions. Hence, the new distribution constitutes a new alternative to fit values showing…

Theory & Methods: Generalized exponential distributions

The three‐parameter gamma and three‐parameter Weibull distributions are commonly used for analysing any lifetime data or skewed data. Both distributions have several desirable properties, and nice…

A new five-parameter continuous distribution, the so-called McDonald Lomax distribution, that extends the Lomax distribution and some other distributions is proposed and studied. The model has as…

A new method for adding a parameter to a family of distributions with application to the exponential and Weibull families

Survival and lifetime data analysis with a flexible class of distributions

A general class of continuous univariate distributions with positive support obtained by transforming the class of two-piece distributions is introduced, which is very flexible, easy to implement, and contains members that can capture different tail behaviours and shapes, producing also a variety of hazard functions.

WEIBULL-LOMAX DISTRIBUTION: PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS

A new model called the Weibull-Lomax distribution is introduced which extends the LomAX distribution and has increasing and decreasing shapes for the hazard rate function and outperforms the McDonald- lomax, Kumaraswamy-Lamax, gamma-Lmax, beta-LMax, exponentiated Lmax and Lomax models.

A generalized log-normal distribution and its goodness of fit to censored data

A generalized version of log-normal distribution is proposed and its goodness-of-fit for a randomly censored data set representing the remission times of bladder cancer patients has been demonstrated and compared with other lifetime models considered in the literature.
